Technical Overview

The 6800 Series system represents a paradigm shift in static mechanical testing, delivering industry-leading pm 0.5% load measurement accuracy down to a mere one thousandth of the load cell capacity, a critical factor for minimizing measurement uncertainty across a vast spectrum of forces. Engineered for maximum versatility, these electromechanical systems are built upon an exceptionally stiff load frame design that minimizes stored energy and frame compliance.

The universal testing system is a highly precise electromechanical platform engineered for comprehensive static materials evaluation, offering a broad range of force capacities suitable for tension, compression, and flexural applications. The system architecture integrates sophisticated measurement accuracy, adhering strictly to global testing standards such as ISO and ASTM, while featuring a high-speed data acquisition rate up to 1 kHz simultaneously across force, displacement, and strain channels.

The Instron Automation for Universal Testing Systems integrates advanced robotic or multi-axis handling technology directly with the core electromechanical testing frame, forming a complete, high-efficiency system engineered for the consistent, unattended mechanical characterization of large specimen batches. This integration fundamentally transforms laboratory workflow by automating critical, repetitive steps—such as specimen loading, dimensional measurement, barcoding, and data communication—ensuring that force, displacement, and material properties...

The Universal Testing Systems are high-capacity, floor-standing electromechanical platforms engineered for the rigorous static and low-cycle fatigue testing of advanced materials and large structural components, offering force capacities reaching up to 600 kN. The system's core technical advantage lies in its exceptional frame stiffness, achieved through pre-loaded bearings, precision ball screws, and thick structural beams, which minimizes the energy stored during testing.

The Industrial Series Universal Testing Systems are rugged, high-capacity hydraulic platforms specifically engineered for the rigorous mechanical characterization of large-scale and high-strength materials used in civil infrastructure, construction, and heavy manufacturing. Offering force capacities well into the mega-newton range, these systems feature large diameter columns and robust structural components to achieve superior frame stiffness and durability.

Specialty Systems represent highly customized, application-specific electro-mechanical or hydraulic platforms developed to solve unique testing challenges that standard universal testers cannot accommodate, often incorporating non-axial load modes such as torsion, high-speed impact, or multi-axis force application. These engineered solutions are crucial for industries like biomedical, consumer electronics, and specialized composites.
